    Notes:

    It is with a sad heart that our family is announcing to the public the passing of a truly blessed soul. Joyce Blaylock Maness, known mostly as Nana, has gone to finally meet her Lord and Savior, whom she devoted her life to. She was born September 15 ,1930 and passed peacefully August 9th, 2021. She was preceded in death by her husband, J. T Maness; her parents, Hardy and Myrtle Blaylock; her two sons, Roy and James Maness. Joyce was fortunate to be a witness, student and teacher of life for 90 years. Nana was born in Grenada, MS to Myrtle Minnie and Hardy Blaylock. She was the 6th of ten children. She was married to J.T. Maness for 64 years. She is survived by two of her sisters, Pearl Rose Sparks and Emeline Payne; her 6 grandchildren, Kimberly Lince, Rory Maness, Tim Maness, Cortney Maness, Tiffany Kee and Patrick Maness and 8 great grandchildren. Nana was a devout Christian with long ties to Berclair Baptist Church. She very much enjoyed singing in the church choir and anywhere she felt fitting to sing a gospel or a hymn (usually while crocheting or sewing). She loved to be able to mend and fix things with her sewing needle or machine because she loved the opportunity to speak to friends and family while mending a button, fixing a hem or preparing a quilt design. She would make doll clothes and give them away to the little girls in her neighborhood just to see them smile. She felt that every little girls doll should have the latest fashion. Nana was an avid reader of everything. Even at the young age of 90 she possessed a thirst for knowledge. She always had an interesting tidbit of trivia to mention about any topic. She was a caring and loving individual like no other and was no doubt greeted into heaven with open arms and warming smiles from her passed friends and family wanting to see her again. She will be missed intensely and never forgotten by the ones whose lives she forever changed. The world needs more Nanas. Joyce's Celebration of Life ceremony begins Friday, August 13, 2021 with a visitation from 1:00pm until 2:00pm and services following at Family Funeral Care, 4925 Summer Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38122. The interment will be held at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, 3700 North Germantown Parkway, Bartlett, Tennessee 38133. The family request everyone wear mask while in the building.
